There are many ways to get kids involved in learning. An All About Me Book can be a great way to get them to work through some early identity issues. Things like who is in my family and how old am I are very important, especially when starting preschool or kindergarten. This Sports All About Me Book is intended to help. With my kids sometimes when they are struggling I ask them – “Hey who is on your team? ” “Mom is.” And then they list the people on their team. Sometimes it’s grudgingly, but often by the end of…

ARGH Matey, Pirates are the best. Pirate Valentines are the perfect simple cards for your child to give this year. What child hasn’t been captivated at least once in their childhood by pirates and treasure, adventure and gold? When I was a child I loved Valentine’s Day. There was something so sweet about making special cards for all of your friends and schoolmates and hand delivering them. Then there were always the school crafts. I loved making the cute little Valentine’s mailboxes or envelopes that we hung off of our desks. Something so incredibly simple but I still recall doing…

In case you weren’t aware: 2019 is the Year of the Pig. I am pretty stoked about that because all indications are that it’s a good and positive thing. After 2018 we can all use a little good news, right? Chinese New Year is not far away. I didn’t know much about the Chinese New Year until this year when I started reading up on it. I’ve been studying Feng Shui a little but too lately. More on that later this month. There’s a lot that I find intriguing about both topics and frankly at the start of any New…

Are you hunting for Valentine Games? Maybe something fun to give the kids that’s not chocolate or candy…Remember I spy? It’s pretty timeless actually and a classic travel game. Now, can you also remember those gigantic I Spy game books. Yes, those ones. They can be so much fun actually, not unlike Where’s Waldo? An I Spy book or game can be hours of entertainment. So this year for Valentine’s Day I thought it would be fun to add to the Valentine’s games and craft an I Spy game to add to my long list of fun word games here…

Happy December 1st!! Here is the December colouring sheet. That marks 12 colouring sheets in total here now so you should have a full year if you want to sit down and pull all the months of the calendar year together. How is it possible that it is December already? This year flew by on the one hand, but it was a challenging one for so many people I know. That’s been true here too for sure. Too many things to stress over and too much negativity and uncertainty too in the world right now. If that stresses you out too, then…

November is not my favourite. Sorry, November! Just not the best of all the months. Although when ski season happens super early then I am fine with the month. Otherwise not so much. Not sure which way this month will go but it seems too mild and rainy to be an early ski season. What’s your favourite month? I love all the snowy months so December is a favourite in a lot of ways. Here’s my December Colouring Page in case you have been following this series of months of the year colouring pages. However, nothing beats…

An adorable Halloween colouring page is a fun little gift from me to you because I know the kids are going to be completely jacked up on candy tonight and you may need something to calm them down. Oh I enjoy candy as much as the next person. But not when my kids are sugar spun little nutters unable to calm down in order to get to sleep. So here’s my theory. After letting them sort safely through their candy and trade a few pieces and pay the toll i.e.. share some goodies with Mom or Dad, then it’s time to put…

Well hello there October 1st! Not even sure how that happened. The thing about October is that once October arrives you certainly can’t argue that it’s Fall. Signs of Fall are everywhere. Leaves are changing and my neighbourhood is ablaze with gorgeous maple trees in burnt oranges and reds. I have a couple of trees holding out still. If you or your kids are like me at all then perhaps welcoming October with this October Colouring Page printable will help to remember and transition to a new month. It’s fourth quarter here and the end of year and holiday season…
